Short Shakespeare!

Romeo and Juliet

What is all the fighting about?

Shakespeare doesn’t leave us any clues as to what caused the feud in the first place between the Capulets and the Montagues. But we can imagine…

Throughout history, there have been many famous feuds, including the one between the Hatfields and the McCoys in the American South in the late 1800s, the English Wars of the Roses in the mid 1400s, and the Campbell and MacDonald feud in Scotland, which began in 1297 and lasted for 450 years!

Have you ever been involved in a feud?

Do you know of any real-life examples of feuds taking place right now?
